This Day in Golf History: December 9

On this date in 1984, Australian great Peter Thomson won the 46th Senior PGA Championship at PGA National with a score of two-under 286, three shots ahead of Don January. It was one of nine titles Thomson won on the senior tour that year alone. And one of the most unlikely of major champions, Orville (Sarge) Moody, was born on this date in 1933 in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Moody won the U.S. Open of 1969, going through both stages of qualifying.
